About Kahala Court

Kahala Court is a residential care home in Devon, providing care for older people. Nursing needs are met through the community nursing service rather than by home staff. Details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

Kahala Court accommodates up to 32 older people in one adapted building, with 27 residents living there at the time of inspection. Nursing care is provided by the community nursing service rather than by staff at the home. The service demonstrated strong infection control practices during the pandemic period, adhering to Personal Protective Equipment and social distancing guidance.

Visitors were managed carefully to prevent the spread of Covid-19, with the home providing a specially designed pod for visits and supporting residents to connect with families via phone or video calls when in-person visits weren't possible. The provider had a clear admission policy for people arriving from the community or hospital.
